Panaracer slick delaminating?

I've had both Panaracer slicks and SK's in 700x35 tubeless..no trouble, mounted easily and held air, used on both aluminum and carbon wheels...mounted on my Chebacco XD

I noticed in the last several weeks an inconsistent air loss but when I aired them back they were fine and held pressure and since I ride the bike in a three bike rotation it didn't seem to be an immediate problem. Today as I was cleaning the Chebacco I noticed the strip bubbles lining the tread..I think it's toast...

I haven't dismounted it yet but it will be interesting ti view the interior....

Sealant bled through the casing and collected under the tread cause the tread to detach and bubble. I had a Compass tire like that and sent it back for a warranty replacement.

Had a similar issue with a couple of 43 mm GK slicks, Leaked like crazy and balloon up to like 47 mm after not many miles. Contacted Them and they replaced both (Sitting on my shelf still, Ponied up the cash for some RH tires and have not regretted it).

Same issue last year with a 650 x 42 gravelking slicks - this long bubble seemed to form about 20 miles into a pretty chunky ride; I was running with pretty tight clearances so it was less than welcome. Made it home after deflating the tire a bit to avoid rubbing, and they went straight into the bin afterwards.

Wow, that is crazy! I just ordered a pair of these in 32mm - lets see it they do this!

I am done with Rene Herse, and love my other Panaracers, so I bet itll be fine!
